85 Euro 300TD on Ebay

Looks interesting. Probably wants all the money though... RT

RW...

I'd rob Fort Knox for that car! God its amazing! It's like my car's twin (except it's not a 240TD) That with a manual transmission would be a car I would go crazy for. I want a wagon bad lol!

does anyone else suspect this is not a 1985 car?

I realize that this is a gray market (which I really don't know much if anything about), but some things seem wierd about this car, like

-no headrests in rear (85s in the us have them, 84 and prior don't)
-the clima control consol doesn't look at all similar to the 84 and later us versions, but it looks like the 82 (or83) and older
-apparently non-euro headlights
-no rubber strips on the roof (every 84/85 seem to have them in the us)

Maybe I am missing it, but I don't see any mention of the turbo. Probably a grey market would not have it.

The pictures don't reveal much about the engine compartment or the interior.

I bet it was imported in 85, when it was a couple of years old... It seems like the seller is trying to hide something or just doesn't know much about his car....
